presence, as her guest, of a president OF the
United States. Today tho city is glowing
with patriotism over its second opportunity to
do honor TO a chosen ruler OF the people.
When the train finally drew into the depot
ard the presidential car was brought abreast
of the temporary platform upon watch the
president was to alICht, an immense crowd
cheered repeatedly and
sWAYED AND SCEGED ABOUT THE DEPOT
platform. 4 presidential salute was fired by
a battery ON shore, and the revenue steamer
Andy Johnson opened her ports and echoed
response. The pre-arranged plans were quietly
put in operation, and an escort OF distinguished
visitors took up its position. The military
presented a fine appearance. 1t was the lafg-
est parade OF militia that has been seen in Mil
Waukee since the great reunions III 1880. AS
the procession trdversed the line Of march there
were frequent bursts of cheering, and the pres
ident bowed repeatedly and lifted his bat In
response to the cordial salutationS Buildings
on both sides of the streets traversed by the
procession were tastefully decorated with the
National colors, eVcrgrcens, etc, some oil the
designs being unique as well rs tasteful On
Wisconsin street, opposite their club rooms,
the Janeau club, an organization COM
posed of young democrats, erected
bearing the word, Welcome, > and pictGres OF
Mr.. and Mrs Cleveland, and along the walk
in front of its quarters was a reviewing stand,
from which members Of the club and their
ladies greeted the president and his wife, and
buildings were also decorated with national
colors, and with portraits of the President and
his wife.
From the courthouse reviewing stand the
procession resumed its march to Schiitz park,
where the hand-shaking feature Of the pro-
gramme was arranged to be carried out. Be-
hind the presidential carriage all the way up
to the park trudged grizzled old Irishman,
holding alOtt banner inscribed with the words,
THE President and the Constitution" He
had walked to Milwaukee all the way from
Neenah, Wis, with his flag for this purpose.
He gave his name as John Sexton. At SchlitZ
park there was an avenue Of arches formed of
gas jets, large Tyres Of pmctdred gas pipes be-
ing placed above the center of each arch.
Though it was broad daylight the gas was
lit, and against a background of trees, pre-
sented very pretty sight The president was
stationed on the platform in the main pavilion
inside the park surrounded by the citizens
committee. Some slip in arrangements caused
considerable confusion, the crowd becoming
maS5ed inside the building i'll such a manner
that people could not get out, while they kept
pouring in like stream.
At one time the president and party were in
danger of being swept Off their feet by the
surging throng, but the police finally managed
to keep the crowd in check. The presidents
reception lasted an hour. He was so tired of
Misunderstanding, as he himself observed that
most of the time he kept his hands behind
him and simply bowed as the people passed.
Many of them were not satisfied with this
however, and persisted in touching his clothes
with their hands. From Schitz park the party
drove to the exposition building, and thence,
after a brief rest TO PIankinton house
Mrs Cleveland had left her husband carly
in the afternoon, and at o'clock dined at the
residence of John L. Mitchell, resident mana
ger of the Soldiers home. The dinner party
was confined to the chief guest and ten ladies.
From here Mrs. Cleveland was driven to the
residence of James Kleek on Grand avenue
where she gave public reception lasting until
O'Clock, when she was driven to the Plankin-
ton house where she listened to the toaSts at
the Merchants BANQUET from the balcony OF
